NEW TRANSFORMER AT LNCMI-GRENOBLE
A new transformer, financed by FEDER funds from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the CNRS, has been installed on the CNRS campus in Grenoble. The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses, one of the major research infrastructure of the CNRS, is now directly connected to the 225,000 V high voltage grid of RTE (Réseau de Transport d‘Électricité or „Electricity Transmission Network“). With a power of 60 MVA, this transformer now increases the maximum power distributed to our magnets from 24 to 30 MW. Equipped with a new generation of a fast-response voltage regulator, this transformer allows for a better management [...]

You will find below all the virtual tours: Virtual tour LNCMI Toulouse Virtual tour - LNCMI [...]
